Last month Julie and I had a night out for the first in awhile. A grad student in Julie's lab babysat while we went out to the annual Department of Pathology awards dinner. The dinner was at the historic Belvedere Hotel in downtown Baltimore. We had a nice kid-free evening and headed out on the town with some of my friends from residency afterward. Anwyay, this a photgraph taken of Julie and I at the awards dinner by the professional pathology photographers. Most of the pictures they take are of cancers or specimens for publication in academic journals; I think they really enjoyed the chance to take a picture of some living subjects.
Above is a picture of the residents in the department of pathology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Johns Hopkins Hospital was the first American hospital to have residents and basically came up with the current model for the American medical system. The first professor of pathology was William Welch also the first dean of the Johns Hopkins Medical School. The photo above will be added to the wall outside the residents room. It is a hallway that has a group photo similar to the one above for every class dating back to the early 1900's and includes some of the most famous names in all of pathology (William Osler, William Welch, Homer Wright, George Whipple, Ernest Goodpasture etc). Good company.
